First miner completed - 2012

I am writing a series about bitcoin mining on Steemit

Bitcoin mining has not been profitable at this level since 2014

I recieved ASIC moners after a year and was unable to use them for even one month when the difficulty of mining got so high that they became useless.

This video depicts the miner start up.

Right Next Door

See my post on steemit.com/@sponge-bob

Right next door, but in the same underground bunker, there iis a gun range and an archery practice area. Kids have to learn order and respect for firearms!

@spongebob

Hand me than gun, would you please?

I have been thinking of taking my kids shooting. First comes education. Then, with a healthy dose of respect, comes shooting.

If you have one of these, why swing from a rope?

I just wrote a post on this phenomena of ignoring perfectly safe equipment when you are provieded with it .

Musical Settled Science on Climate

It's just one scare tactic after another.

It's amazing that just 40 years went by and we gone from Brainstorming on how we could nuke the ice And glaciers or coat them with black paint or soot in order to melt them because of the coming ice age to the 2019 plan to stop burning fossil fuels because trees no longer use carbon dioxide in order to create oxygen.

Who Are the Biggest Bitcoin HODLers?

It probably won't come as a big surprise that Crypto exchanges are the biggest Bitcoin HODLers. 6.7% of the current circulation of Bitcoin is held on exchange wallets, and that is valued around 9.8 billion dollars.

A Deeper Look at Privacy in Crypto

What makes a good privacy coin? Is privacy about theory or experience and anonymity sets? 

An interesting discussion on privacy coins, plus my book (https://cryptoramble.com/guide) with a Dash enthusiast and an independent crypto researcher

What are the criteria for a good privacy coin? Is actual privacy about theory or about experience and anonymity sets? #crypto

An interesting discussion on privacy coins with a Dash enthusiast and an independent cryptographic researcher. We go over some issues they take with my book (https://cryptoramble.com/guide), and talk about comparing privacy coins. 

00:00 The conversation starts a bit slow and meta

17:02 James joins in to discuss the meat of the matter, comparing privacy coins and a specific focus on anonymity sets

53:05 The conversation steers towards one of my favourite topics - adoption!

Here are some links that James provided me with re the claims on anonymity sets: 

- First a tweet by Vitalik Buterin on issues with Monero's anonymity set: https://www.ccn.com/vitalik-buterin-eyes-research-on-privacy-coin-moneros-traceability/

- Vitalik was responding to a Professor Emin Gun Sirer of Cornell: https://twitter.com/el33th4xor/status/1126897314352779264

But the response from the Monero community seemed mostly hostile.

- This link shows the importance of anonymity sets when it comes to communication networks like TOR. http://dedis.cs.yale.edu/dissent/papers/provpriv12.pdf

- And this Zcoin page talks about some anonymity sets of privacy coins: https://zcoin.io/what-is-sigma-and-why-is-it-replacing-zerocoin-in-zcoin/

As I say in the video, I now have a better understanding of how people measure the effectiveness of privacy in privacy coins, with a focus on the 'noise' vs the 'theory'.

It was also new to me to learn about cryptography vs steganography. I had never even heard the word steganography before, and it sounds a bit like stenography.

I apologise for not having better audio. 

Thanks for watching!

After successfully orbiting the Moon for a year and eight months, the main orbiter was instructed to impact on the lunar surface near the crater Gill on June 10, 2009.
